Chapter 264: I Am Not Afraid of Him Because I Have You
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Jing Yun was too good at hiding his feelings toward Sheng Minglan. Sheng Minglan did not realize it but Sheng Xiao had discovered it.
Sheng Xiao went to Northern Europe and met Prince Charlie. He explained the situation to Prince Charlie. Prince Charlie made up his mind to accept the royal arrangement and marry the daughter of a Northern European tycoon.
“Thank you, Charlie.”
“I just hope that there will be one person less in this world who is being manipulated by the elders.”
As for Mu Qiqi, she had invited Fourth Sister to Jing Ting for lunch after she finished her class. The new maid, Aunt Wu had started working in Jing Ting. She was a good cook and a kind woman.
“I am so envious of you,” said Sheng Minglan after touring Jing Ting. “Xiao Qi, I always hope that I can meet someone like Sheng Xiao who can get me out of this.”
“Fourth Sister, since you are here now, you should just forget about the trouble. You should be happy when you are in Jing Ting. Let me tell you something. Xiaoxiao went to Northern Europe last night. So, don’t worry.”
“Well, it seems like my love for this cousin has not gone to waste.” Sheng Minglan smiled.
“How are you going to solve the problem? You cannot just keep on delaying it, Grandpa chose a prince this time, and he will choose another man someday.”
“Do you think I have done nothing for all these years?” Sheng Minglan sneered. “If Grandpa keeps on forcing me, I will leave the family and start my own business.”
“But…”
“Are you trying to tell me that I will not be able to win against Huang Yao? How can you be so sure if I haven’t tried?” Sheng Minglan asked in return. “Sheng Xiao can go against Grandpa. So can I. I would rather die than live like a dead person.”
Mu Qiqi knew that feeling. “We will support you.”
“Sheng Xiao sees you as his life. I would not dare to let you come out and fight with Grandpa.”
“You should let me do something or I will really become the eighteen-year-old bride that the people say.” Mu Qiqi raised her wine glass and gave Sheng Minglan a toast.
“I have nearly forgotten about it. You are also a person who fights against her fate.” Sheng Minglan and Mu Qiqi chatted happily. They were just like real sisters.
Jing Yun was standing at the door and listening to their conversation. Somehow, he felt relieved. It seemed like Miss Minglan was not going to accept her fate so easily.
After drinking, Sheng Minglan could not drive, so Mu Qiqi asked Jing Yun to send her back home. On the way back, Jing Yun suddenly turned to the woman who was sitting at the back and said, “I can help you, Miss Minglan. I know everything about Huang Yao. I have all the documents about Huang Yao’s business. If you want to fight…”
“I will bear with Grandpa one last time.” Sheng Minglan murmured. Then, she fell asleep in Jing Yun’s car.
Soon, Grandpa Sheng received the news about Prince Charlie’s marriage from his network in Northern Europe.
He had not even gone there…
So, the matter was put to a stop.
Grandpa Sheng even comforted Sheng Minglan. “I will find you a better candidate next time.”
There was fire in Sheng Minglan’s eyes. If there was next time, she swore she would leave Huang Yao and venture into her own business.
On the third morning, Sheng Xiao came back from Northern Europe. His trip was fruitful since he had solved Sheng Minglan’s problem.
By the time he reached home, the little one was still asleep. Sheng Xiao took off his clothes and lay beside her. When the little one felt the warmth that she was familiar with, she plunged into his arms.
Sheng Xiao took the chance to embrace her. The scent of her hair washed away his fatigue.
After some time, Mu Qiqi woke up in Sheng Xiao’s arms. When she saw her man, she kissed him on his forehead.
“You are tempting me…” Sheng Xiao opened his eyes all of a sudden. Mu Qiqi was surprised.
“I just kissed you on your forehead.” Mu Qiqi sat up. “Is Fourth Sister’s matter settled?”
Sheng Xiao pinned Mu Qiqi beneath him. “You are the one who is in danger now.”
“Aunt Wu is coming to wake me up soon.” Mu Qiqi looked at the door anxiously.
Sure enough, after a few minutes, Aunt Wu knocked on Mu Qiqi’s door. She did not know that Sheng Xiao had come back last night. “Ma’am, you should get ready for school now.”
Mu Qiqi opened her mouth but Sheng Xiao had already put his mouth onto hers.
“Ma’am?”
“Aunt Wu, leave us for a moment.” After a while, Sheng Xiao’s voice was heard.
Aunt Wu knew what was going on so she left quietly. Young couples were always like this. They were so fired up in the morning.
“You should save my face in front of Aunt Wu.” Mu Qiqi felt helpless and she bit the man’s nose.
Sheng Xiao grabbed her hands and kissed her. “Do you miss me after not seeing me for three days?”
To be precise, it was just one day and two nights!
This man liked to exaggerate.
“Xiaoxiao…”
“Call me Hubby…”
“…”
How could Mu Qiqi talk? There was no chance for her to open her mouth. By the time they dressed up and went downstairs, the food Aunt Wu had prepared for breakfast was already cold.
“Do you think I don’t know that your class starts on the third period today?” Sheng Xiao looked at Mu Qiqi who was annoyed. He pinched her nose.
“I asked you about Fourth Sister’s matter.”
“If it is something that even I cannot settle, then nobody can,” said Sheng Xiao. “Grandpa Sheng has wasted his effort.”
“He called me last night and asked us to go there tonight for dinner. He told me that he wanted to talk to me alone during the engagement ceremony. I think I cannot escape it already.”
“Are you afraid of him?” Sheng Xiao asked nonchalantly. “You are trained by me. He should be used to the way I treat him already. So there is nothing to be afraid of…”
“I am not afraid of him because I have you. Besides, I still have Father and Grandpa!”
“Then what is bothering you?”
“I want to help Fourth Sister. Maybe you will think that I am asking for trouble but…” Mu Qiqi looked at Sheng Xiao seriously. “Actually, I want to help Jing Yun as well.”
“They don’t need your help,” said Sheng Xiao firmly. “Fourth Sister is not someone that will yield easily, so is Jing Yun. He does not look like what he seems to be. So, what you need to do now is to study hard and become a forensic doctor.”
“With you clinging onto me every night, I should thank God for being able to pass the semester!”
“If you keep on staring at me like that, I will make you not able to attend your class…” Sheng Xiao smiled, threatening Mu Qiqi.
Mu Qiqi quickly looked away and took a mouthful of food.
This man was a demon.
“Eat slowly, I will go and fetch you in the evening. We shall go to Sheng Mansion together and see what Grandpa is planning to do!” Sheng Xiao waited until Mu Qiqi responded and picked up his bowl.
